and Loose the weight

Hypertrophy, known as Muscle growth, is key to growing more mitochondria. Remember Mitochondria burn fat and sugar to create energy, ATP, for the body. The more muscle you have the more mitochondria you have. The more mitochondria you have the more fat burning your body does.

Here’s a workout to build those muscles and grow those mitochondria. Don’t forget to walk twenty to thirty minutes after your workout while drinking your protein recovery shake.

This does not mean mitochondria are not produced from strength training, but it does mean that the density of the mitochondria is not as dense as those produced by cardio.

The healthier the mitochondria, or more dense in this case, the better fat and sugar burn during your workout. As a result of increased fat and sugar burn the more ATP energy will be produced to fuel your workout.

Moral of the story, don’t skip the cardio, whether it’s steady state cardio or high intensity.

If you don’t walk or workout for 48 hours your insulin sensitivity begins to decline making it difficult to lose weight. Aim to workout every other day to keep those mitochondria awake and sensitive to burning sugar and fat.
